Consumers want GPS; Nikon doesn't appear to realize that!

Unbelievable that the Nikon 1 J4 like the Nikon 1 V3 doesn't have a GPS option. In 2014 GPS is table stakes for cameras and cameraphones; therefore there's no reason not to have an accessory port where you can attach a GPS or have it built-in or have it via WiFi or Bluetooth to an Android or iOS phone or tablet!

Physical hardware trumps touch

I've tried thousands of times taking photos with Android cameraphones and iPhones and they do have their advantages over Nokia cameraphones with dedicated camera buttons but the absence of a dedicated camera button slows down the act of picture taking. Not good and not intuitive.Perhaps the MotoX "swivel" camera gesture which I . . .

And you can't attach the GPS and the EVF simultaneously?

It appears the Nikon 1 GPS and the EVF attach to the Nikon 1 V3 through the same accessory port and there is no way to attach the GPS to the EVF or vice versa. I hope this isn't true but it's pretty silly to pay $1200 for a Nikon 1 V3 without a GPS built-in or GPV via a WiFi app like the Olympus EM-10 and the Fuji X-T1.

What's with the trend to using a smartphone for GPS?

Like the Fuji X-T1 there's no built-in GPS in the Olympus OM-D EM-10?!? Instead it uses the "kludgy GPS via smartphone" aaargh! Which is no help when your smartphone battery is dead or you don't have your phone. 21st century cams require real sensors !!!

Why is the GPS optional? Using a phone's GPS is not great because often the GPS is wrong especially when you are not in a city or in a city blocked by skyscrapers. The GPS accessory for my Nikon 1 V1 is better than the GPS in my Nexus 5 for . . .
